Other mistake: In this episode, Patricia Richardson guest stars as Helen Potts. She played Tim Allen's wife on Home Improvement, and there are plenty of inside jokes to reference Home Improvement. Then, at the end, Jonathan Taylor Thomas appears as Helen's son, Randy and another joke ensues about how he looks familiar. He should, Jonathan Taylor Thomas has already appeared several times in the show, playing John Baker, who Mike already knows.

Vanessa's tattoo artist has a "Binford" tattoo on her right shoulder. Binford was the tool company and sponsor of Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor's home improvement show from the TV series "Home Improvement."
